If you've been using that long, you should know they have a list of
supported scanners on their site. I've used it since 20012, and right

V ED for slides.

Digital ICE should be independent of the OS.

Right, the way I understand it, the ICE is in the firmware code of
the scanner itself.... And ICE was developed here in Austin!
